A 60-year-old rugby fan has died after collapsing while watching Scotland play England in the Six Nations on Saturday.

The man had accompanied friends to Murrayfield stadium in Edinburgh and was watching from the stands when he fell ill around 15 minutes after kick off.

He was initially treated by medical staff on site before being taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, where he died a short time later.

Heads of the sport's governing bodies expressed their shock and sadness at the news and passed on their condolences to family and friends.

"The rugby family has lost one of its members and on behalf of all the travelling England fans and the RFU we extend our condolences to the gentleman's relations and all those who knew him," said Bob Reeves, RFU president.
